Information

Purpose and Audience:

To train physicians, nurses, and paramedic personnel on the current concepts in Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) as defined by the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. Participants must complete all parts to receive a PALS Provider card.

This eLearning course is the self-directed online portion of HeartCode PALS blended learning, which is followed by a hands-on session for skills practice and testing.

HeartCode PALS is a comprehensive program that uses a series of videos and simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. Using eSimulation technology, students can assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings. In this environment, students also apply their knowledge to real-time decision-making and skills development. Debriefings and coaching are provided immediately after each simulation to facilitate learning.

Continuing Education Credit:

Continuing education credit (CEU or CEH) is provided by AHA upon successful completion of the computer portion of this course. No continuing education will be awarded from Blank Children's Hospital for the skills portion of this course.

A PALS Provider card will be issued after successful completion of all portions of this course. Expiration of the verification will occur two years from the date of issue.
